HERBAL BEAUTY & SKIN CARE –

Radiate with glowing skin

According to Ayurveda, one’s health and emotional state are reflected in the face and in the body and cannot be disguised with cosmetics. In other words, Ayurveda emphasizes on maintaining the skin’s beauty by keeping our internal body clean and healthy.

The Ayurvedic secret to beauty is ojas energy, which is the essence of the 7 dhatus (blood, nutrients, bones, marrow, muscles, fat, sperm/ovum), that gives vitality to our neuromuscular system and radiates youthful energy and glowing skin at all ages. For enhancing beauty, we use special herbs made of green leaves, turmeric, almonds, lavender, roses, fresh vegetables and fruits, etc.

How does this program help?

At Ayurveda Yoga Villa, beauty management and skin care is aimed at freeing the body of ama (toxins), restoring cellular nutrition and balancing the doshas for improved blood circulation and waste elimination. This includes procedures like cleansing, massages, herbal steam, gentle scrubs, facial packs, toning, rejuvenating and moisturizing. This program can also help in healing scars by stimulating the deepest layers of the skin.

How many days?

Minimum 1 week, ideally 2 weeks, and for better results, 3 to 4 weeks, depending on your present condition and your expectations.

What is the therapy like?

Besides the oral herbal medication to purify the blood and promote elimination, we give massages with special herbs and warm herbal oils to improve toning of tissues and for increased blood and oxygen supply to every cell of the body. The Ayurvedic diet with plenty of fruits and fruit juices also helps to clean the internal system. All the Ayurvedic herbs used in this program will be based on your personal body constitution and the fruits and vegetables you will consume will be according to your skin type.
